Il was = big blunder the Republican
managers made in announcing that
Blaine would be present at the late
banquet under the auspices Of Colonel
Atkinson's club. They knew. ~
course. that he would not come; and
there was, therefore. q kind Of false
pretcnse in announcing him and in
ducing the faithful to squander their
hard Learned two-dollar bills in vain ex-
pectation. But worse than the false
prctense was the blunder. Il turned
what otherwise might have been avery
tidy feast into q cold and lifeless thing.
Men who would have been very well
pleased under ordinary circumstances
to hear senator's Hawley. Of Connect
icut. and Palmer. Of this State. and
who would. when sufficiently ''rc-
freshed, y have tolerated even Congress-
man Boutelle. found the entertainment
stale. fIat and Improbable. because
they contrasted It with the might have
been.
The blunder would have been less
serious IL the managers had been play
ing for the gate-money, 20 to speak.
They undoubtedly sold more tickets
than they would II Blaine had not been
down in the hills. But IL was not
money they were after. They wanted
enough Of that to pay expenses. q
course. but chiefly they were after
votes. And il Is As voters that tho
guests have been injured. 1t i As vot-
crs that thay will resent the deceit and
delusion to which they have been sub
jcctcd.

A Healthy Volume of Trade In Progress
The Aggregate Sales Quite Satisfactory.
INDIANAPOLIS April 16.
In the week closing to-day the volume OF trade
has been highly satisfactory in most depart
ments and, with the strong and steady tone to
prices, the wholesale men are making fair mar
gins on the goods sold. In dry goods the last
was the busiest week of the year. Mail orders
were numerous and the number Of merchants
who came to the city to buy goods large. The
sales in the aggregate were highly satisfactory
to the dry goods men. While for some days past
there have been but few changes in prices, in sew
eral lines Of dry goods there is n upward ten
dency. Druggists are having ID trade, and
in all articles they handle there is firm tone
to prices The paint and oil markets have be-
come settled, and prices rule steady at the re-
Gently revised quotations Grocers are doing big
business; the distribution of coffees and sugars
ls large for the season. and prices are up ward in
tendency on all staple articles. Indications
that for some time to come grocers are to be
busy. The provision market is strong in tone,
and good deal doing in n jobbing way. Stocks
low for this season of the year, and the pres
ent rangein prices is likely to be fully main
tanned. The hide market is little tirmer in
tone. without an improvement in prices.
Leather dealers report trade good at unchanged
prices. Hardware and iron merchants are busy
and prices are irmef in tone than ten days ago.
The produce markets are fairly active. Eggs
and poultry weak on increasing arrivals and
lighter demand. Southern fruits and vegeta-
bles begin to come in more freely. and within
few days much lower prices may be looked for.
There are bat few strawberries arriving as yet.
but Tennessee berries will soon be on the MARK
ct and will sell at prices at which merchants can
afford to handle them. There are some choice
apples on the market but Sc per barrel Is wanted
for the fruit
